The
City of Cape Town’s Transport department says residents and visitors to Cape
Town will soon be able to make use of tuk-tuk vehicles to travel short
distances within the city and surrounding suburbs.

The
tender for the provision of tuk-tuk public transport services was issued on
Friday 15 April 2016 by Transport for Cape Town, the City’s transport
authority.

Mayoral
Committee Member for Transport, Brett Herron explains…..

“The tuk-tuk vehicle are intended for those wanting
to travel short distances of 3km’s or less to local destinations”.

He
says “The people who will make use of the
tuk-tuk services are those who do not necessarily want to make use of metre
taxi services, and who do not want to walk 3km’s to their destination”.
